Flamingo Couple Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Two flamingos facing each other, long necks curved inward so the negative space between them naturally forms a heart. Its a classic composition and it works because the birds themselves do all the heavy lifting. Coral pink fills the bodies with deeper rose shading on the long curved necks, warm white on the chest area, and the bills are black-tipped like real flamingo beaks. Slim sage green foliage sprigs at the base so theres context but nothing busy. Five colours, clean and composed.

Stitch count runs between 24,777 and 40,535 across all 4 variants, and the column work on the long necks is what drives that number up. Heights run from 4.68 to 7.47 inches, widths from 5.02 to 8.02, so its a wide horizontal piece. Wilcom handled the satin columns on the neck curves and the legs well, which is important because any irregularity in a long column fill at that scale shows up straight away. I checked all 4 sizes and the curves track smoothly.

People have been ordering this one a lot for anniversary gifts and wedding presents lately. A customer asked me this past february to confirm the file would work on a linen cushion cover for a valentines day gift for her partner. She ran the 7-inch version on natural linen and it came out beautifully, the coral thread really pops on that cream base.

Run the large size on a natural linen or cream cotton cushion for a bedroom or living room accent. Stitch the medium version on a canvas tote bag for a tropical everyday bag. Pop the smaller sizes on a set of cotton napkins for a laid-back holiday table setting. Pop a medium cutaway underneath to keep the long leg sections from pulling the fabric. Avoid stretchy knit fabrics, the column stitching on the legs doesnt hold well on anything with give.

Keep your machine speed moderate on the neck column passes. The curved satin sections need consistent tension to stay smooth. Skip the tearaway on linen and go cutaway for extra hold under those long vertical fill areas.
